"Elucidating the Synergy Between Green Human Resource Management and the Triple Bottom Line Perspective of Sustainable Development: An Examination of the Mediating Role of Industry 4.0 Technological Advancements"

Abstract

The rising concern of stakeholders for sustainable development has caused managers to adopt policies that ensure it. One such way is to incorporate Green policies in human resource management practices. However, one major factor in this relationship is new advancements in Industry 4.0 technologies, which have both positive and negative impacts. Therefore this study aims to examine the relation of GHRM with sustainable development and its triple bottom line perspective along with the mediating role of Industry 4.0 in this relationship. The study was conducted in the aviation field and data was collected from 16 airlines in the Middle East and Pakistan, utilizing the PLS-SEM method. The findings have revealed that there is a significant and positive relationship between GHRM with sustainable development and its triple bottom line perspective and Industry 4.0 acts as a suppressor in the mediating role of this relation. Further, the theoretical and practical implications of this study are discussed.
